McNamara Fought For Local

Taxpayers

While Denny McNamaras Democratic opponent supported the 2008 transportation finance bill, Denny opposed it because it raised taxes and fees by $5 billion and created the Counties Transit Improvement Board.

Denny recognized back then that CTIB would take our money and send it to Minneapolis and St. Paul. And did it ever.

Because of this legislation, Dakota and Washington County taxpayers lost $122 million. Finally our county commissioners grew tired of this nonsense and put a stop to it.

We need a state senator thats willing to give every bill careful scrutiny and ultimately put local needs first. Please join me in voting for Denny McNamara on February 12.
